There was a time

When I was so broken-hearted

Luck wasn't much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah

'Cause me and them ways have parted

That kind of love was the killin' kind

So listen

All I want is someone I can't resist

I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do down on me, yeah!

Now there's not even breathing room

Between pleasure and pain

Yeah, you cry when we're making love

Must be one and the same

It's down on me

Yeah, I got to tell you one thing

That's been on my mind, girl, I gotta say

We're partners in crime

You got that certain somethin'

What you give to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street

Is the devil's in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames

It's a fire I can't resist

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do to me, yeah!

'Cause what you got inside

Ain't where your love should stay

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love

'Til you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' to let you

Do what you do, what you do down to

No, no, baby, baby, baby

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do down to

(Down to, baby, down to, down to)

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm dyin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
